I really enjoy the challenge of a bike rebuild - but (and it's a big but on this one...) that X7 would be one step too far for me

when i got this rg it had mk3 forks on it i think ,anyway i bought a set of mk1 forks of ebay last week went to fit them tonight and the front axle is to thick , does this mean i have a mk3 wheel aswell , is there a difference in axle sizes ? many thanks guys

[Bitacticus]

Yes could be
This is for the RG 250 models

MK1 bearing 6301
MK2 bearing 6302 (german market version with 2 discs)
MK3 bearing 6301

The German MK2 model has a different front axle partnumber

Hope this helps

still hane,nt got the forks sorted but the calipers dont line up with the mountings on the fork legs , any ideas what the cld be off they look like rg calipers , will try and post pics guys any ideas ?

Got myself a RG 250 MK2

found out that the front axle is bigger on this model.
also the front wheel is different
you can't put the wheelbearings in for the MK1 or Mk3 models.

So you have a MK3 front wheel i think
but it should fit the axle diameter on the MK1 fork (same wheelbearings)
only the discs are different on the MK3 there are 5 bolts and on the MK1 6 for each disc

The calipers for the MK1 model (2 piston version) will only fit the MK1 fork
the mounting holes are different

The calipers for the MK2 and MK3 are the same (four piston version) and won't fit the MK1 fork

hope this helps
